Hello, didn't get any response on my last query. So I'm trying again and will be more suscinct. 8~) When colorizing individual rows in a Tk::Tree, the SELECTED row will color to the borders of the fixed window but the NON SELECTED rows will not. This looks real ugly. 1. Is there anyway to fix it? I've hit several lists and it seems no one knows. 2. Is there another graphics package for PERL that can handle this? Below are two examples that show this ugly results of tree and colorization of rows:
